Tractor shite

Another USSR oddity, this MTZ-50 has been modified to work along steep slopes.

Interesting but strange they chose a 2wd tractor for that.

Top half is a Belarus Tractor - there were a few knocking around SW Scotland back in the day that (I think) came over from N. Ireland  so likely a grey import from the South. 
Bottom half? I'd guess it's a factory fitted crawler but I've never seen one in the flesh - so it's a Belarus Crawler?

Cab looks different to the Billy Belaruses I have worked on . I’ll try and pop back and get more info 😂

Many Soviet tractors were sold under the Belarus name for export even though they were something else. There is one on youtube that is similar.

The grill is similar to a DT 75 tractor but the cab is different.

I think we can safely say this is a DT 75?

The DT75M is a Russian built crawler tractor from the Volgograd Tractor Factory in Russia, and was marketed in England under the Belarus brand name.

Russian tractors are fascinating with time in production and numbers produced.

DT-75 is a caterpillar tractor produced in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet times. The DT 75 tractor was produced by the Volgograd Tractor Plant from 1962 to 2009, for all the time more than 2.7 million copies were produced – a record result for equipment of this kind. The tractor has gained popularity due to its reliability, unpretentiousness and affordability. The main purpose of the DT 75 tracked tractor is agricultural work, but its successful design allows it to cope with other tasks.

The 'quiet cab' rules came in around 1976/78 and they may have altered the design to comply? There were a couple of these and some (Czech) Zetors around when I was still up home. Also a grey painted Russian thing on leaf springs with hydraulic brakes that could do a fairly decent road speed (I cannot remember the make but it was a one-off import and sold out of the Ayr Agricultural Show in (probably) 1979).

All of these were looked upon as tat by the Ford/Fordson, David Brown majority but they seemed as reliable as any of the others to be fair.

 I wish I had a (real) need for this Morooka. Cheap blow-over in my favourite colour and it's only fancy ride-on-mower money.

Full hydrostatic drive so dead simple to drive and maintain.

Do they do the next pass along the slope in reverse? Or does the suspension compensate for the return journey?

I need a miniature version of that to mow my “lawn”.

There are clues in these Zetor pics as to how to modify your rear axle for the slope. 
The portal axle assembly comes off during brake repairs.

Thread resurrection 

My digger driver, who is a good old fashioned owner driver with a mint looking 15 year old 3CX Sitemaster turned up in this, a lovely Mccormick CX105. 

These Mccormicks were built in the old International/Case factory at Doncaster and were based on the Case CX model. This fresh looking example was built in 2004. Small lower priced tractors usually deteriorated quite quickly especially on cattle units so this is quite rare in  this condition, and without a front loader.

Probably not really classed as shite, but given the Case mention I'm sure there's a few fans of these here. Chap just down the road from me has this, it makes it out to the occasional local show/meet/match.

 

 

Video here too
